Tapas
Another food first for me this week; I got to go out for tapas for the first time! Our lab went out for tapas as part of a recruiting effort for a potential post-doc who was interviewing.
It was a lot of fun and the food was awesome. The numbers in our party were just perfect, because we got this tasting menu where you get 8 different dishes. And each dish has 3 items on it (mostly). We got 2 sets of 8 and there were 6 of us, so we always each got a piece. I had things like crab, flounder, lamb, cherry tomatos (still a bit scared of other tomatos), awesome cheese, dates, chorizo, deviled eggs, lots of green veggie things with a vinegary flavor that were fantastic, and other things that I just can’t remember.
The interviewee is a lot of fun and it is too bad that I wouldn’t still be in the lab when he comes, if he decides to come. All in all, it has been quite a good week!

There’s a tapas place in Grand Rapids. Used to be able to see it from my apartment when we lived there. Interesting way to eat. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

YUM! I skipped all that number stuff you wrote and went straight to the food you ate.
